Here’s another Visual Metaphor that I created for a client that deals with executives and trains them in leadership and people skills. The client asks her client to come up with a 3-part list consisting of 1. Where they were, 2. Where they are now, and 3. Where they see themselves in the future. My …

Here’s another recent visual metaphor. This guy was statue happy for some reason although one of these things is not like the others! STATUE – POWERBOAT – STATUE. Is it number 2?

I haven’t posted a series of my visual metaphors in a while, but I was pleased with the way this one turned out so I figured I would foist it on you, my loyal readers. This series is about an engineer who is transitioning from a technically centered aspect of his career to more of …

Being that baseball is all the rage right now in Philadelphia, I figured I’d drag out this particular visual metaphor. As I’ve written before, I create these sequential illustrations for a client who works with executives, head honchos and bigwigs. She uses my work as a tool to help get her clients to the next …

Visual Metaphors Strike Back!

More Visual Metaphors! I do work for a company that coaches executives. The company uses a number of techniques to make these executives more effective leaders. One of these techniques is the visual metaphor, and that’s where I enter the picture. The client is asked to provide a brief three-step metaphor explaining where they were, where …

Visual Metaphors: Panel 1

This is the first panel of the visual metaphor showing our executive’s humble beginnings as conductor of a chamber orchestra. The three panels are placed on a letter sized layout and presented to the client as a reference of where they were; where they are, and where they want to be.

Visual Metaphors: Panel 2

This is a follow-up to yesterday’s post. Today I’m publishing the second panel of this particular visual metaphor. This is similar to a lot of visual metaphors I do. This guy compares his executive/work experience to that of being an orchestra conductor. He starts out with a smaller chamber orchestra. In this panel, he’s leading …
